You could have the win2k shares exported and get it samba mounted
on a linux box with apache running on it. Further you could have some
means of authentication mechanism on the apache webserver, following which
the contents of the shares are displayed to the user ( in browser ) . You
could
have an upload script in php for upload. (Assuming the user doesn't need
to upload huge chunks of data.)

lot of work invloved in this though. :(


    Another possibility I thought of was to have an specific (user)
